Jaydee,
Try having a look at salvage vehicles at an auction house.
Last dry season I bought a Ford ute V8 for $50.00 no fees.
I found out later it had been stolen and burnt.
I just wanted the diff, which looked to be OK except for a couple of cooked boots on the handbrake cable.
Turns out the vehicle sat in water up to the bottom of the fuel tank (which wasn't burnt).
The bottom that is, the rest of the tank was cactus.
The six speed tremec manual box was OK apart from the shifter mech and sensors
The diff is good, which is what I wanted, and,
the COYOTE block is OK although the FPV Harrod supercharger suffered.
So A 2011 Ford Falcon GS (315KW) FPV ute with a whole lot of parts for $50 was a good buy.
Hunt around salvage mate, you never know what you might find.
